From the definition:
"WoT (Web Of Trust) is one of the best ways to determine how trustworthy someone might be, based on your social graph.
In Coracle, this number is equal to how many people you follow that also follow a given person, minus pow(2, log(n)), where n is how many people you follow who have muted this person. This allows you to see at a glance if someone is accepted in your network. This helps reduce spam, impostors, and objectionable content.
You can set a minimum web of trust score on your content settings page, which will
automatically mute anyone with a lower score than your threshold."
But, like on Twitter, this leads to clusters around certain groups
of people, and in combination with the ability to filter out users
below a certain score (which is set to zero by default), it could become
an effective canceling tool. It's like saying "you're not part of the
core group." This makes it difficult for other bubbles to become visible
to Coracle users. I've never used Coracle and now I never will and will advise anyone I try to purple pill to stay far away from that shit.
That's because you don't understand it. WoT score is the exact opposite of a global social credit score.
Your scoring different social behaviors and giving credentials to ones social visibility/interaction based off that score. Sounds like a social credit score.
